Check whether the lead seal of the safety valve is intact, whether the accessories are damaged, clean and sealed, and whether the leather bowl is damaged or dirty. Pressure vessels should undergo internal inspection in accordance with national regulations after 10 years of use of balance weights. Before disassembling the balance weight, it is necessary to lock the piston rod with a clamping sleeve, fix the boom and balance weight with a sling, and remove the pin and cover plate after unloading. Use anti loosening agent Drei Bond 1342 during installation and replace with new bolts. If the balance weight of the robot may form a pressure pad after storage, a safe distance should be maintained when removing the exhaust valve cover, and A2 should be moved ± 30 ° before reinstalling the cover.
Electrical connections and common troubleshooting
KR C2 electrical equipment consists of cable kits, junction boxes, and RDC boxes; KR C4 consists of cable kit, multifunctional junction box MFG, and RDC box. The motor cable is usually X30, the data cable is X31, and the control cabinet side corresponds to X8, X21, etc. The total cable cross-section of the grounding protection system is 10 mm ². Common faults include: loose plug, poor shielding, excessive grounding resistance, RDC box failure, abnormal motor temperature, brake wear, zero point loss, gearbox oil leakage, abnormal balance weight pressure, and increased stopping stroke.
If the robot experiences unexpected movement or sinking, it should immediately stop running and check the brakes, balance weights, overload, and collision damage. If the robotic arm or additional shaft collides with obstacles, mechanical end stops, or shaft limiting devices, it must stop running and contact KUKA. External forces may cause subtle damage, such as slow loss of motor power transmission, and the motor and balance weight must be carefully inspected. It is recommended to check the itinerary once a year. STOP0 reference values: A1 has a stopping stroke of approximately 87.12 ° and a stopping time of 2.13 seconds; A2 has a stopping stroke of approximately 6.76 ° and 1.86 seconds; A3 has a stopping stroke of approximately 77.61 ° and 1.43 seconds. Actual values may vary depending on brake wear, load, and speed.
Stop operation, storage, and disposal of waste
Before stopping operation, move the robot to the transport position, remove tools and accessories, loosen peripheral device interfaces, motor cables, and data cables, remove grounding wires, and use transport lifting equipment or forklifts. The storage location should be dry, dust-free, avoid temperature fluctuations, wind blowing, ventilation, and condensation, and avoid direct sunlight. Clean and dry the robot, remove rust spots, seal electrical interfaces and hose joints, cover with film and seal on the base, and add desiccant if necessary.
When disposing of waste, materials are classified as cast iron parts, copper cables, light metal castings, steel gearboxes and bolts, motors, electrical components, plastic parts, etc. Hydraulic and pneumatic balance weights must be professionally depressurized in advance and are only allowed to be disposed of in a non pressurized state. Gear oil, hydraulic oil, lubricating grease, and adhesives should be handled in accordance with the manufacturer's safety data page requirements.
For heavy-duty palletizing robots like KR 700 PA, the key to stable operation lies in not exceeding the limit, not disassembling randomly, maintaining regularly, adding oil according to the discharge amount, calibrating the zero point after motor replacement, regularly checking the balance weight pressure, and ensuring reliable electrical plugs and grounding. As long as these basic tasks are done solidly, most faults can be detected early and unplanned downtime can be reduced.
